Preparation and application of urechis unicinctus autolytic enzyme
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological products, and particularly relates to preparation and application of urechis unicinctus autolytic enzyme.
Background
Urechis unicinctus, commonly called as urechis unicinctus, is a tubular urechis animal living in intertidal zone with muddy bottom or coral reef zone at the seaside like other urechis organisms, and is mainly distributed in Weihai cities, smoke tables and the like at the coasts of yellow sea and Bohai sea. The urechis unicinctus is large in individuals, the meat taste is delicious, and the muscle of the body wall is rich in protein and various amino acids necessary for the human body. Since ancient times, the seafood food has higher economic value as a rare seafood food in China, Japan and Korean coastal areas. People traditionally eat only their body walls, discarding their internal organs. However, research finds that the waste urechis unicinctus viscera are rich in protein and fat, rich in Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and other elements, and rich in EPA, DHA and DPA. The urechis unicinctus has higher nutritive value, but because the urechis unicinctus has high water content, the enzyme system is rich, autolysis hydrolysis can be carried out under certain conditions, and the phenomenon of dissolution is very obvious particularly in the death process of the urechis unicinctus, which is caused by the fact that the urechis unicinctus contains autolytic enzyme. The autolytic enzyme causes urechis unicinctus to lose a large amount of nutrient components in the processing process.
In recent years, with the progress of enzymology, researchers at home and abroad have conducted extensive and intensive studies on the autolysis of aquatic animals, particularly sea cucumbers, fishes, shrimps, shellfishes and the like and by-products of the processing thereof. Aquatic animals are easy to generate unique autolysis due to the characteristics of high water content and rich enzyme systems. The autolysis process of aquatic animals is complex, the biochemical change is mainly caused by the degradation of protein and structural tissues by endogenous enzyme systems, and the enzymes playing a role in the process comprise protease systems with multiple catalytic activities, lysosomal enzymes and the like. The preparation of bioactive peptides by autolytic enzymolysis technology has become a main technical means for preparing bioactive peptides of aquatic animals. In addition, the autolysis technology can be used for effectively recycling and utilizing the nutrient components in the aquatic product processing byproducts, so that the pollution to the environment is avoided while the value of the raw materials is maximally utilized.
In recent years, research on extraction and properties of autolytic enzymes such as sea cucumber and cod has been advanced at home and abroad, but preparation and property research of the autolytic enzymes in urechis unicinctus has not been reported for a while.
